Pat the dog's head
Gui Yao bit her lower lip lightly, and the light yellow hairband was wrapped around her hair, making her skin look even whiter.
Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow.
She had seen the summer in Xiaohe Village more than once.
Three years ago, she didn't understand the love and lust often described in novels and on TV. She just thought that summer in every world was extremely hot, and there was always something wrong. Her face would become hot under the sun, and sweat would flow out like in a sauna.
In modern times, there is air conditioning.
The finance department would often knock on her door, saying that the pet hospital's electricity bill exceeded the annual limit. Guiyao would often say "oh" and then pay the extra money herself.
She could always see the anxiety on the faces of human guests who brought their animals to see the doctor.
Gui Yao raised her eyes and looked at Ren Beixi.
He was sweating too, was it from the heat or from worry?
have no idea.
A week after waking up, Guiyao felt dizzy from head to toe every time she stood up.
She seemed to be completely untied from the animal mind-reading system.
It didn't take long for me to experience my normal physical condition, and then I returned to my original frail and sickly state.
But she could actually hear the voices of animals.
She often wondered, after traveling to this world for so long, if she no longer had a systematic mission to guide her, what should she continue to live for?
An excuse to stay in Xiaohe Village?
I continued my ordinary life as before, occasionally visiting my mother-in-law in Xianyu City, and listening to the "General's Order" on the stage on West Street.
Does she have feelings for Ren Beixi?
Thinking of this, Gui Yao realized that she could hear the voices of animals, remain calm, and observe the world and human nature.
But, I felt a lot of emotions towards Ren Beixi that I had never felt in my previous life.
The heat is unbearable.
My uncle said, "Gui girl, you are seriously ill this time. You can't faint again. What? You still want to go to the stream to soak your feet? I think you have a bubble in your head!"
Guiyao covered her ears, feeling that all the words her uncle said to her had the same meaning.
Did you hear that? Did you hear that?
You could die very easily now.
To be honest, the summer in Xiaohe Village is much cooler than that in Xianyu City. It is surrounded by mountains and there is a river. There are countless ponds under the trees in the village, making it a natural summer resort.
According to Ren Beixi's meaning.
He wanted to take her back to General Xianyucheng's mansion, and let her uncle and aunt live there with her permanently. When she recovered a little, they would go to the capital in autumn.
"Will the people in the capital blame us for this delay?" The girl on the bed frowned.
There is now a small bed in Guiyao's house in Xiaohe Village, standing right at the end of her bed. It is where Ren Beixi moved in to sleep. The dressing table in front of her bronze mirror in the past has also become a place for men to put their pens and ink.
Whenever Guiyao woke up, she could often see the man's broad and tall back.
Ren Beixi has been exchanging letters these days, and Gui Yao guessed that he was in contact with the capital.
She was finally able to get out of bed and walk normally these days, and her mind was busy. She hinted that they should continue to go to Beijing together, but Ren Beixi disagreed, and now she had made it clear that she planned to go to Beijing again in the autumn.
Guiyao didn't want to trouble others because of herself.
Now she has not yet found out why the mind-reading notebook system disappeared for no reason, and she has even thought of letting Ren Beixi go to Beijing first.
"No." Ren Beixi's voice was unusually cold and hard.
Therefore, on this hot day, the two of them actually had some vague sense of confrontation.
Ren Beixi often saw Gui Yao not saying a word after waking up. Whenever he looked away, he could feel her aggrieved eyes looking at him. She would change her clothes, put on straw sandals, and run out to play with the dog.
...What's so good about touching a dog's head?
Noon.
The two of them had dinner in the courtyard, and Guiyao returned to the house with the medicine. No one paid any attention to each other.
"Sizzle—"
The door in the distance was suddenly scratched open, and the big yellow dog ran in hurriedly, shook its head, and dropped something covered in saliva from its mouth. It rolled in front of Guiyao's bed for a long time, its dark eyeballs shining with moisture.
Carrier pigeon?
Guiyao narrowed her eyes.
Outside the door, Ren Beixi walked in, knelt on one knee and was about to open the letter on the carrier pigeon, but the docile big yellow dog pushed it open with its round head.
The man withdrew his hand and his eyes fell on Gui Yao who was helping herself to stand up from the bed.
"Where did you get this from?"
Guiyao squatted down and touched Dahuang's head.
Dahuang mumbled for a long time, but even without him saying anything, she knew what he meant.
She did not forget that there was a guard dog named Dahuang in Xiaohe Village, who was always waiting for letters from the north.
Gui Yao checked the wet pigeon. Its body was stiff and its wings were difficult to bend. It must have been dead for more than half an hour. She took out the letter from the pigeon's leg ring, paused, and looked up at Ren Beixi.
She recognized that the code written on the letter was the cipher used by Ren Beixi to communicate.
But Dahuang’s expectations were dashed again.
/ Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Xiaohe Village side quest: Pine Ink Without a Trace. /
Guiyao suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Beads of sweat trickled down from her forehead onto the floor. Her slender white ankles trembled for some reason. The cicadas chirped mournfully. It was hot, and there was no respite.
I even forgot to breathe.
Gui Yao wanted to get up, but stumbled. The man quickly caught her and carried her back to the bed.
"Be careful." Ren Beixi said in a deep voice.
The letter paper still fell into his hands. He lowered his eyes to see what was going on. Just as he was about to drop the paper next to the candle and burn it, Da Huang beside him rushed over while barking.
He pulled his arm back and the candlestick was knocked to the ground.
"Wait."
The man looked grim.
Da Huang naturally didn't understand what he was saying, nor did he want to listen. He only knew that this man wanted to burn the letter he had been protecting all the way. Perhaps it was the letter that his young master had been waiting to deliver for many years.
What if the person in front of it was tall and straight with a deep gaze? It arched its back in pain and was about to rush forward with its mouth open.
“Wait!”
Gui Yao pounced on Ren Beixi, and the tightly held piece of letter loosened when it was covered by the soft, fragrant and warm jade.
The bed was hard, and the man subconsciously held her waist firmly. With one hand supporting his back, his veins bulged. He frowned and instinctively turned over to block Gui Yao's body behind him. He held the brush beside him and smashed it hard in front of the dog.
The ink marks were scattered all over the ground.
Guiyao put her slender hands on the man's shoulders, turned around and looked at Dahuang who looked pitiful.
"I told you to slow down, why are you so fierce?" Gui Yao slightly opened her moist lips and stared at the man under her with burning eyes. She knelt on his thighs with her knees. Somehow, when she was trapped in the man's silent eyes, she lowered her eyes and hesitated to get off him.
Ren Beixi: "Are you telling me to slow down, or are you calling me a dog?"
Through Guiyao's slightly drooping long hair, he saw the big yellow dog lying in front of the letter paper, which had long lost its aggressiveness.
Gui Yao raised her eyes, her pair of almond-shaped eyes seemed to be glaring at him, but also seemed to have nothing to say. After a while, she moved her legs away, but was suddenly grabbed by the waist with malice and pulled into the arms, and her kneeling posture almost fell apart.
"How do I talk to a dog? Do you think you are the dog?"
Gui Yao wanted to say something but stopped herself.
The man's breath fell faintly on her neck. Suddenly he paused, his Adam's apple rolling as he said, "Touch me?"
It was clearly a question, but it sounded like a coaxing. He saw that her hands on her chest did not move for a long time, so he lowered his eyes and moved closer to her lips.
"Why not touch it?"
Gui Yao felt her heartbeat in the palm of her hand and bit her lip: "I can't bear to leave."
She heard the man's faint smile, and suddenly turned her face away, wanting to get off him. For some reason, this man was so nasty today.
"Hmm."
A muffled groan.
Gui Yao paused stiffly, then realized that she had fallen gaze on her knees.
"I, I, I didn't mean it, take me away quickly."
She stammered and her face, which had been fairer these days, turned pitifully red. Gui Yao didn't care because there was a big dog behind her staring at her eagerly.
"Oh my god, these two are stacking pancakes."
The man said in a deep voice, "Didn't you mean it?"
Gui Yao: "Shouldn't we talk about who's more of a dog..."
Da Huang: "You should also be quiet. I haven't seen you for a few months. You are not smart anymore. If it's not a letter from my little master, why don't you say it earlier? You have to make me do it."
No, why does this Northeastern dialect have a strong smell of chili?
"I was wrong, let me down." Gui Yao's face turned red, her whole body was stiff and she dared not move. She looked at the man with her bright eyes, as if she was angry. She stared at him for two full seconds. Gui Yao suddenly felt that the place where her knee had pressed had changed more obviously.
…She closed her eyes, not daring to breathe.
"Ren Beixi."
"Um."
"What will it take for you to let me go in front of the dog?"
The man said with certainty: "Touch me."
Gui Yao squeezed the man's chest muscles hard, gritted her teeth and opened her eyes, as if asking, "Is that enough?" It was true, but not enough. She loosened her hand again and placed her palm against the man's face. Her body temperature was slightly cool, but her palm was sweating from nervousness. However, Ren Beixi's face was quite hot, burning her palm.
"Not enough?" Gui Yao frowned, put her other hand on his face and squeezed it hard.
With a straight nose and tightly closed lips, General Ren was really stern, so she had to move her legs. Before she could have enough fun, she met the man's dark eyes.
Guiyao suddenly smiled.
“Even the dogs couldn’t stand it.”
The dog outside the door was holding a dead pigeon in its mouth. It kicked the door shut with its front legs and barked as it walked. Would you be willing to be fed dog food for no reason if it came in?
The new big black dog silently picked up half a watermelon and wagged its tail to beckon it over.
Da Huang: "It's a bit strange."
Mo Mo: "What the hell, brother."
Da Huang: "Gui Yao didn't say anything just now, but I could understand what she meant. Have you ever seen this scene before?"
Momo: I don’t think so. She always speaks human language and I speak nonsense. If she doesn’t speak human language, I don’t understand what she says. It’s weird. Why don’t I go in and ask her now.
The big black dog went to scratch the door, but found that it was locked from the inside.
The two dogs had no choice but to squat under the big tree and start eating watermelons.
Mo Mo asked Da Huang why he ran in so hurriedly just now, and Da Huang told him about his little master guarding the border.
"Hmm? I followed General Ren to fight in the north. Do you know my general's last name? It's Ren."
Dahuang tilted his head.
"Quietly."
"Has the North already achieved complete victory?"
